B-Class Electric Drive sales for Oct 2014

[klaus]

Mercedes has released sales numbers for October 2014, and they sold 98 copies of the B-Class Electric Drive in the US.

This brings the year total to 255 in the US, which is basically all of the vehicles that has been shipped out to the US.

The B-Class is also only currently available in limited states, but will roll out to the rest of the country in early 2015.

This from InsideEVs:

We don’t expect to see any depth of sales for the electric Mercedes until early 2015 at best as Daimler isn’t shipping any inventory of consequence, as unfortunately the automaker decided to electrify a model halfway through its shelf life (more than 350,000 petrol cars have already been sold worldwide).

An unintended side effect of that decision to electrify a ‘long-in-the-tooth’ car is that there is now already a refreshed and “facelifted” 2015 model incoming (pics and story here) for the B-Class Mercedes – first sales of the B-Class ED (and nat gas version) begin in Europe on November 3rd.
